I have had problems with k3b as well (two bad

if I use brasero it's ok. I think brasero cd burning (from a toc file)

cdrdao. gcdmaster is the tool I like best though.
My very old Suse 11.2 install or an older install of Suse that already
is removed can't burn one kind of DVD, + or -, but I experienced K3b as
the most usable burning tool, usually ok for Debian, Ubuntu and Arch
installs. Some days ago K3b and Brasero for FreeBSD were unable to
detect a CD RW. For other burning tools I'm missing functionality, such
as verifying (in the past sometimes an issue for K3b).
Apparently Brasero verifies burns by default using the MD5 checksum. Its
CheckSum plugin can be set to use SHA1 or SHA256.
